... about a man who decides to live his life as a person "oh so pleasant" instead of "oh so smart". "Years ago, my mother used to say to me, she'd say: 'In this world, Elwood,' she always used to call me Elwood. 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh, so smart or oh, so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. And you can quote me." - Elwood P. Dowd (James Stewart) Excerpt from "Harvey" (1950) with James Stewart.

There are no words that can match the brilliance of this film. I am honoured to have viewed such a masterclass in all aspects of film. The acting in particular. Although who can deny a Mr. Stewart' talent? Thank you.

This was a reply to another comment earlier here. Misplaced this.

This whole scene is just pure masterclass in acting. The sheer beauty and power of what Jimmy does in this scene is amazing. The way the music drifts through the scene.....so perfect. Who agrees?

Guess it says something about the society when people find kindness creepy.

You are right. Dowd Lives Today! as much as the idea of "kindness." some don't see it, but they are both there. Dowd is there in every warm smile, every little kid's giggle, every young heart and every inspiration for this movie. Oh, Dowd lives alright!

Never seen Rear Window, but I do enjoy To Kill a Mockingbird
